So it’s happened several times, where my son’s father has melt downs and keeps us up into the late hours of the night. He always says it’s not going to happen again and he’s sorry. But of course it always does. I’ll be holding my son and he gets into my face yelling. I of course ignore it because I don’t want my son...

First and I don’t want anyone getting in the way

So this morning was pretty normal, and I told my husband that he should come with me to my parents house because its been a while since hes seen them and he should come say hello. I have a very large extended family by blood, he's very anti social and hard-core homebody. I did tell him before that my family means al...

i just want to know if this is normal or if it’s something i’m doing wrong.. i’ve been a stay at home mom since i’ve had my son (may 2023) and now that ive started working and my son is going to daycare he’s been wanting his dad more than me.. i feel like ive betrayed him but it’s all of our best interests that i go...

I’m tired of explaining to my husband I dont want him screaming cussing at me in front of our kids. He still does it every single day. My little 3y/o covers her ears and yells at him to stop yelling. Idk what else to do .. i communicate, i cry, i pray..if you’ve been in this position and have any advice or experienc...

I am hoping someone has experienced the same or has multiple children and can give some reassurance with no judgemeny as its something im really wuite worried about. My little one is 7 months and has always been on the grumpier side, had colic the first two months, shown a fiesty side when due a feed/sleepy etc, at ...

So me and my husband bump heads when it comes to who should do what. So today our daughter causes the dresser to fall (she’s fine) and everything on top fell I asked him could he pick it up for me. He refused to do it unless I helped so I got mad because I feel as though I have to do everything child related. So I k...

He barely comes home . This is my boyfriend not my child’s father . He says he’s always making plays at night but how he always making plays but always broke and when I call he’ll be at his friends house . Am I wrong for wanting to leave or is there something I can do to manage this ?

So my FIL was out of the country for the week and immediately came over today once his plane landed. Didn’t tell me or my husband that he was coming over . He mentioned to my SIL that he was feeling sick and was in contact with someone sick. My husband is at work and I’m very uncomfortable that he’s here with a ras...

How do you handle budget for baby with your partner? We had baby 2 months ago and we had first argument about that today. With us since beginning of relationship it has been pretty much 50-50. Now he is saying he is giving more then me. I never really calculated in a penny, maybe he is but difference is small. I sug...

Do you guys ever wonder if the labor we women are carrying is too much and more than our men do? Having a baby or even multiple kids, entertaining them, keeping the house clean, prepare nourishing meals, planning for the family, while staying mentally stable, taking care or ourselves and our relationships? While bei...

Hey, I have a 15 month old and a 3 week old. Ever since the baby was born my 15 month old has been very upset crying a lot having tantrums and just generally not his normal happy self. I’ve tried to give him as much attention as possible but as I’ve had a C-section I can’t lift him etc so my partner is doing more wi...

Specifically, how much do you either get given to you or spend in a week or 2? What do you spend it on? If you don't mind me asking. My partner seems annoyed that he has sent me $950 in the last 10 days. $300 for my birth control procedure $250 for our $140 phone bill $300 because my account was overdrawn, and ...

So here's the dilemma. I am the sole carrier of our 3 month old. I do like 98% of everything. My husband helps when needed ( like watching baby while I shower, going to the bathroom or he makes a bottle when I need it) my thing is i really need a break and I'm suppose to be going to a concert next month on the 19th ...

Hi everyone! Im not comfortable with my in-laws and would like to set some boundaries. Can you please share me what healthy boundaries mean for you? We are living from different sides of the world and even if that's the case, I can deeply feel that our boundaries and space have been violated everytime we had a chanc...

Sunday is my day. Hubs takes babies to in laws and I do womanly things vs mommy wife things. Well today is FIL birthday and hubs asked me to go. I reluctantly agreed because if I don't show up they get in their feelings, very "what did we do to her? Does she not like us?" My in laws are great. Never had an issue. ...

What age did you expect your kid to stop needing constant supervision? And punishing them for making a mistake when you weren't looking. At 3 years old, I feel like if I wasn't watching, it's my fault. But sometimes it's like did you really just do that? Yesturday he threw dirt into the house from outside. Today wok...

Hi guys, I’m in a bit of a pickle. My step dad wants to take my daughter from when she’s three months old (she isn’t born yet as of now) for Friday and Saturday to sleep over so I have a break. I don’t know what to do because I don’t want to cause drama as i don’t want her gone for that long. I tried explaining ma...

Okay I just need to know if I’m being crazy or not. My oldest sister when she visits is always on her damn phone. Whether it’s playing on it or shoving it in my daughter’s face to take pictures/videos of her or FaceTiming everyone. It irks me so badly idk why, but I gotta know, am I being ridiculous? I wish she woul...

please tell me i’m not alone. Me and my boyfriend don’t live together right now but he has my car to get to and from work as his is broken. He doesn’t come by often as he works long hours and we are currently living 30 minutes away from eachother. No one comes to see me and i live with my sister but she will only ta...
